Summary
The Court held that evidence of the dismissal of an indictment is a matter relevant to sentencing under Art. 37.07 §3(a) and reversed the Court of Appeals' exclusion of that evidence, remanding for reconsideration in light of Rogers. Justice Keller dissented, arguing the evidence was not relevant and should remain excluded.
